I will add to my previous posting that board members are always supposed to be working toward exercising performance stock options awards.  My point is that every board member has a vested interest in the company, whether they have been granted or purchased shares in the open market or not. 

Given my understanding that one (or part of one) of the lawsuits involves a claim of JB being unlawfully terminated, one may surmise a possible liability for his being denied access to performance options and other insider benefits from some 28-months ago.  Of course, while options during much or all the history of this company have expired as worthless, that may not be the case in the future.

Should JB win his case, and should Hay Mountain bring rewards to the company, I can imagine that JB would be entitled to the same profitable exercise of options that others presently on the board may receive.   

Maybe someone who has access to BG/NU should ask him, assuming he can ever come out from behind the curtains behind which he seems to hide.
